This innovative online slot is the latest to come from the MICROGAMING headquarters. This is in fact the beginning of a string of new slot/poker games set to be released, which is known as REEL PLAY POKER: JACKS or BETTER. This is an ideal blend for those who love both poker and slots.

You can now find this slot in approximately nine different online casinos. The game has five reels and twenty paylines. The symbols are typical four coloured playing cards including Ace 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q and K, instead of fruits or what  symbols you would generally expect to find on a slot. The sounds are less adventurous and quite primitive, but they actually go quite well with the game.

The betting range varies from $0.25 up to $100 per spin (or equivalent currency). The idea is to receive Jacks or Better to make a win. The great thing with this slot (like on many video pokers) is that the game features a ‘Hold’ button at the bottom of the screen where symbols (cards) can be ‘held’ in order to achieve a winning hand on the next spin.

To play the game simply hit the start button. This is the Deal Spin button. Five cards will then spin in and you get to choose which of them you want to hold. Once you have ‘Held’ your chosen cards, you must then click Draw Spin and hope for a win.

The particular wins are as follows in ascending order from the lowest win. Jacks or better, Two Pair, Three of a Kind, Flush, Full House, Four of a Kind, Straight Flush, and the highest that pays a massive 8000 coins is the Royal Flush. The idea for this game is fantastic and certainly a unique and adventurous path chosen by Microgaming, which seems to have worked.
